* PERSONALITY (+)[/font]
In all truth Matthew can actually be considered the polar opposite of his sibling at times, especially when you see the two walking together down the street, Matt’s demeanor is normally quite CALM, he looks at something with a kind of unhurried manner that makes most people want to stand up and throttle him, after all when your house is on fire and your asking Matt here for help the last thing you expect is for him to actually consider the situation in his calm way rather than pick a hose and put out that fire. Of course, his calmness comes the added bonus of being PATIENT too, though the two qualities can go hand in hand. Not only can Matt remain completely and utterly calm even at some of the worst situations but he is very patient, normally not minding trivial actions as waiting in line provided there’s a reason to be doing all the waiting in the first place. He’s also normally very COOL-HEADED, which also goes hand in hand with patience and calmness but at least you know that for making a decision you can count on his judgment, especially if the situation is dire.
One sure fire thing is needed for his job and that’s, of course, being INTELLIGENT, he would be nowhere if he wasn’t as smart as he was and boy does Matt have a head over his shoulders. Most times you can find him thinking about one thing or another and it’s no surprise to anyone that he likes putting things together, like puzzles for example. He also has the tendency of being very CREATIVE and coming up with the oddest solutions for the most difficult problems –but as long as they work, who cares? Besides what use would be intelligence if he didn’t have creativity? Matt is also extremely RESPONSIBLE, as long as he agrees to do any task you can bet he’ll get it done and as soon as he can without breaking any bones. You can be sure he won’t allow his client to be disappointed and he’s the type to keep with dates and hours, most times preferring to arrive a tad earlier than the expected time.
* PERSONALITY (-)[/font]
Even when the sea is calm and the day is clear one can see flaws and of course Matt is no different. One of his nastier qualities has to do with that calmness, you see he can be all manners and keep all his thoughts tightly bottled up but soon the point will come when he can’t keep all the rage stored inside which leads to the EXPLOSIVE aspect of his personality. One second you’re telling him about your new cat and the next he realizes how much he despises you and your cat and has suddenly turned very, very violent. Matt doesn’t tend to think much when he’s in such moods and things can either turn dangerous or calm very fast, which mostly people consider as being slightly BI-POLAR, because just as soon as he took the whole damn table and threw it aside he can suddenly be realizing his mistake and calming down. In truth Matt can be quite the unpredictable person to be around. He also tends to be very APATHETIC to everything that surrounds him and he watches things go by with a kind of boredom of a person who’d rather be doing something else. He likes his job, enjoys it quite a lot, to the point were he can be a WORKAHOLIC and when he’s doing anything, anything at all that’s not related to his job you can find him in one of his ‘who gives a shit?’ moods.
Of course his job can tend to be more than a little troublesome, not many people like hearing ‘oh, I’m Investigator Matthew going to ask you a question about…’ no, of course not. In fact if he were to begin finding information this way he’d probably be out of a job faster than you can say Hoppip, which turns to make him quite the little LIAR, he can keep good track of his lies too, but it is rather unsettling when you discover everything you thought you knew about innocent little Matt was a lie. Which leads to another nasty quality about him, Matt is actually quite COLD with most people –at least people who don’t happen to be the subject of his investigation, which not only is not a preferable trait but he LACKS GUILT as well. He’s not sadistic, he doesn’t enjoy people’s pain, but the truth of the matter is he could hardly care less if your in pain or not, it’s more of an adaptability characteristic he acquired, however. If he didn’t grow a tough skin he wouldn’t be a good investigator, however, such qualities can be set aside if you actually get to know him, but he normally prefers to be alone, AKA is ANTI-SOCIAL and makes it as difficult as humanely possible for anyone to get close to him, eventually when they do he does tend to care a bit more.
When he has brought himself to care about someone you can find out that he’s very OVER-PROTECTIVE of his friends and family, particularly his sibling which he would absolutely kill for. Getting high enough to be considered a ‘friend’ can be difficult with Matt because he can be extremely MISTRUSFUL or CYNICAL which you really can’t blame him for, his job is to dig out everyone’s dirty little secrets and most people don’t like it when their secrets are shown to the world much less used against them so it is only very likely that he possesses quite the score of enemies because of that, not that they aren’t rightfully earned but it doesn’t necessarily make him feel glad to know he does. Matt is also very RESERVED, rarely sharing his thoughts with anyone and keeping most of his emotions locked in and only for himself to ponder, of course he tends to be more talkative when around his sister but that doesn’t mean he still doesn’t prefer keeping to himself.
* LIKES + DISLIKES[/font]
LIKES; birdsong, sweets, music, winning, being successful, fresh water (not sea), swimming, skies, sincerity, trees, wind, laughing, pokémon, goofing around, having fun, napping, hugs (if you’re his sis), thinking, pondering, day-dreaming, board games, chess, puzzles, order, working, being busy, being entertained, reading, the sound of running water, being active, exercise, challenges (as in obstacles), the occasional peace and quiet, a difficult problem to solve, figuring things out, being right.
DISLIKES; fighting, consistency, failing, dragging unnecessary attention to himself, saltwater, seas, beaches, wasting time, clingy people, commitment, forgetting things, sweating, boredom, rules, inactivity, sticky fingers (from when he finishes eating or the like), loud people (the type that are permanently screaming), pushiness, spicy food, overreaction, excuses, being pushed, being asked a lot of questions, getting yelled at, anyone after his sister, being interrupted, citruses (like oranges and the like).
* WEAKNESS + STRENGTHS[/font]
Matt can be incredibly STUBBORN when it comes to his job, making it so that no matter how hard someone might try to make him fail he keeps trying to finish what he started and that had made it possible for him to get in a grand deal of trouble, trouble he tends to ignore until it tackled him in the back and tried to strangle him to death. Truthfully, his stubbornness not only succeeds in getting him in trouble or wounded but it makes it even harder for him to accept defeat and when he looses he won’t swallow it down and just deal with it –which normally leads to his explosive/violent episodes. The Latios Replica is very OBSERVANT as he is needed to be because of his job, but it comes to the point where every little detail he will try to commit to memory and he can probably remember what clothes you were wearing the day he first saw you, just because he just tries to take in everything. The replica is also and extremely QUICK-THINKER being able to react to situations before you can even blink (not really), but he is quite quick to come up with a plan of action on such short notice which normally plays well when compared to his sibling’s outright recklessness. The Latios also tends to be a tad OCD about keepings thing in their rightful place –typically when around their house he will clean and pick up any items obsessively and sometimes when he walks into a stranger’s house if he sees a picture even slightly askew as soon as his host turns around he will turn around and fix it. Although it seems to cool down when he’s in company of others, for example he doesn’t mind to see a cluster of trash on the side of the street when dozens of people are walking by but if there if he’s alone while he passes beside the cluster he might feel the urge to clean it –of course, it is unlikely that he will and simply control the impulse until his back in his home.
* SKILLS[/font]
Well, although mentioned before, Matt is quite skilled at crafting believable lies, so LYING is definitely one of his talents, in fact he lies with such conviction he could probably make you believe his eyes are actually neon-yellow but he wears contacts to make it appear otherwise. Matt is also very skilled at PARKOUR, for those of you who have never heard of the concept before parkour it is the discipline of training to overcome any obstacle which means that if he ever gets in trouble and needs to run anyone might have a hard time catching him –he can find handholds in places no one would think possible, the discipline is also known as freerunning on occasions. And although not technically a skill someone can practice Matt has killer REFLEXES something he can be occasionally be seen practicing while throwing that little sphere he always carries with him around, it should come to no surprise if he dodges an item you threw at him almost instinctively and without giving it a second thought.
* PARTY[/font]
Kyoo – Female – Static – N/A
Kyoo (pronounced KEE-ooo) was found in a building locked with dozens upon dozens of Pokémon. The way the story goes Riley and Matt were investigating the disappearances of some Pokémon both pet and battle-trained in the area and that soon led them to the right location. All of the Pokémon were claimed except two, a Teddiursa and a small Pichu and they remained with the two replicas for so long that they soon grew fond of them. Kyoo is a mischievous and curious little thing, often dashing ahead of Matt or requesting him to go watch something with her in her usual pushy way. Kyoo also has a tendency of sniffing everything with an ecstatic curiosity that makes Matt smile and one of her favorite bad habits is stealing sweets from under Matt’s nose. She can also become jealous of Riley at times and when her patience runs thin she had been known to do just about anything to regain the replica’s attention. Kyoo’s only purpose has always been as a companion and a kind of pet and by no means does Matt ever try to think or use her in any other way –truth be told the wild Pichu has a complete will of her own and like an alley cat she occasionally wanders away from Matt only to return the next day. The two are incredibly fond of each other.
* INVENTORY[/font]
He can be seen throwing and catching or fidgeting with a bluish sphere of some kind that some people have taken a liking to thinking of as a SOUL DEW, however if asked Matt will only respond with pocketing the sphere and glaring. He does however seem to play around with it a lot. Any other item he may carry with him is probably easily disposed of and would mostly consist or snacks and sweets. TMs; STEEL WING, AERIAL ACE & HYPER BEAM.
